On Trend

I'm not the trendiest girl. Over the years, I've learned what styles I prefer and which look best on me. However, I'm always eager to learn what the fashion trends are each fall and spring, and I typically pick a few to incorporate into my wardrobe. This fall, there are quite a few I'm loving! And I was surprised to find nearly all of them represented at Zara. But what I think I like most is that the pieces -- no matter how on-trend they are -- all still look like Zara. They prove you can be current but still yourself. Here are a few that pick up some of fall's best trends:

Dots

Minimal

Lace

Color blocking

Navajo prints

Neon

Layered Effect

Recently while popping around the Banana Republic website (it's one of my favorite stores), I came across some cute outfits that incorporate several of the best trends of fall. A classic trench, smart pants, easy cardigans, skinny jeans, ruffled tops and full, short skirts are pieces I'm planning to wear all season. Cute hats, pretty necklaces and touches of animal print are details I hope to add in. And if I can work them all together in effortless layers, even better!
